Israel’s second war of independence.   

By Malcolm Dash

Israel is fighting for its independence from the tyranny of affluent and powerful elites. Independence from the legal establishment’s absolutism, independence from the propaganda of the mainstream media propaganda, freedom from the progressive ideology of academia, and from the social engineering carried out by the IDF.

From Israel: Over the Top and Intolerable!!  

By Arlene Kushner 20.3.23

As always, when there is a terror attack, I begin with that. And how deplorable it is, that I must do so again: And that once again, it is an attack on Route 60 in Huwara.

David Stern, 41, and his wife Rachel, 37, of Itamar in Samaria, were attacked on Sunday afternoon not far from where the Yaniv brothers were killed just three weeks ago. Both dual US-Israeli citizens, they were on their way to Jerusalem for a Torah lecture. While reports varied, apparently their children were not in the car with them.

David is a former US marine and a martial arts expert who teaches self-defense, including to First Responders. You see him here with Rachel and their four children.

Israeli protesters, I can no longer keep silent  

By Phyllis Chesler

I can no longer keep silent. I may be sitting in Manhattan, but my heart is in Jerusalem and my heart is very heavy.

I may not be a lawyer or a legal scholar, but I have been an organizer, an activist, a leader who has acted on behalf of civil and human rights—especially women’s rights. But I have never acted in the way that Israeli rioters are now acting: Not stopping, threatening to continue until they’ve brought down an entire country.

Melanie Phillips: Reframing the Mid East Narrative.  

By Melanie Phillips.  2018

I wrote a couple of weeks ago that those trying to defend Israel in the court of public opinion needed a strategic rethink.

Defending Israel against the calumnies being thrown at it is to concede defeat from the start by engaging upon ground defined by its enemies. Instead, Israel’s defenders need to go onto the front foot. They need to do to its enemies what is done to Israel: to paint them as extreme, unconscionable and a mortal threat to life and liberty. But with one key difference: that whereas Israel’s enemies do this through lies, bigotry and irrationality, its defenders should do it through truth, morality and reason.

Saudi report: UAE mulling reducing diplomatic presence in Israel  

T. Belman. SA and Iran have announced an agreement to exchange diplomatic representation. UAE and Syria are in talks aimed to bring Syria back into the Organization of Islamic States. So much for the Abraham Accords. Its being used as leverage to protect the so called Palestinians. This is happening because the Arabs don’t trust the US to protect them.

Saudi news website Elaph says UAE is upset with Netanyahu’s silence in wake of controversial comments by Smotrich.

  Mar 22, 2023, 2:06 AM

The United Arab Emirates is considering reducing the level of its diplomatic representation in Israel, Israel Hayom reported on Tuesday, citing a report which appeared on the Saudi news website Elaph.

According to the report, the United Arab Emirates is mulling whether to instruct its ambassador in Israel not to meet any Israeli official, Knesset member or minister at the moment. This would be in addition to not taking part in official events in which Israeli ministers and politicians in the government will be present.

Douglas MacGregor is a friend of Israel  

T. Belman. A prominent Jewish journalist recently told me “Douglas Macgregor blames Israel for all of America’s problems”. This article says otherwise.

Antisemitism accusations against Dr Douglas MacGregor are deeply upsetting.

By Doron Almog, Gershon Hacohen and Efraim Inbar, JISS 19.8.20

It is upsetting to discover that former US colonel Dr. Douglas MacGregor has been accused of antisemitism. This, to prevent his appointment as US ambassador to Germany. Some American Jewish groups echoed these accusations, but they are misinformed and are being exploited for partisan political purposes. (See “Jewish groups take aim at Trump’s pick for ambassador to Germany,” The Jerusalem Post/JTA, August 8, 2020.)

By David Israel, JEWISH PRESS     March 20, 2023

The entire legislation banning the Supreme Court from annulling constitutional Basic Laws, which passed the first plenum vote, has been shelved. It will not be submitted.

China gets credit for improving Iran-Saudi Arabia ties – but US benefits  

By Daniel DePetris  March 20, 2023

There was a time, only a few short years ago, when Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman thought Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was worse than Adolf Hitler. “I believe that the Iranian supreme leader makes Hitler look good,” Prince Mohammed told The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg in a 2018 interview. Hitler may have tried to conquer Europe, he said, but Iran is “trying to conquer the world.”
